Kobo Aura One review

The Kobo Aura One sports a 7.8-inch e-ink display that's significantly larger than the 6-inch e-ink displays found on all of Amazon's Kindle e-readers, it's waterproof, has an integrated light and built-in support for Overdrive library book loans.

(Betyg Dolt)

The Kobo Aura One ebook reader has a huge 7.8-inch display and should survive an hour-long plunge into two metres of water - but at £190, it's pricier than a Kindle. Is it easy to read the screen even in bright sunshine, and is it intuitive to use?...

Kobo Aura One

Providing you with your own personal, portable library is the task of a new eReader from Kobo.
